Pros

Worked as an email developer. At the time Merkle hired a lot of young developers. There was a great sense of camaraderie and socialization between employees. Opportunities to improve upon processes. Good communication across Client Services and Email Dec team. Sort of had unlimited PTO.

Cons

Burn and Churn. Fast pace, high stress production environment from 9-6 most days. Little room to grow out of email development into web development. Not many opportunities to voice concern. Felt at times like a line factory of email production.

Pros

Great work and life balance depending on the role. WFH and great benefits.

Cons

Constant layoffs almost every quarter. Don't expect to get a yearly merit increase or promotions. They come few and far between.
